House with garden Sedgefield (South Africa)
This magical property is more than just a home—it's a peaceful retreat that blends history, comfort, and character in one remarkable space. This smallholding in the heart of Kraaibosch feeds the soul and radiates charm and tranquillity. The north-facing, beautifully renovated, converted schoolhouse is set under a canopy of trees and is a symphony of light and space with double volume ceilings, sash windows and solid wood flooring. A closed combustion fireplace creates a warm ambience and huge floor to ceiling concertina doors separate the living areas from the main bedroom and the largest guest bedroom, both with loads of built in cupboards. A third room offers versatility as either a bedroom or a study. The bathroom exudes old-world charm, with a classic ball-and-claw bath and a large, modern shower, perfect for relaxation. An enclosed sunroom provides the perfect place to kick back and relax as natural light streams in the windows and double French doors lead out to the garden overlooking a peaceful dam. The kitchen has warm wooden counter tops and is designed for modern convenience with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and a dishwasher. Gorgeous views of the mountains can be enjoyed from the open patio. A labourer's cottage offers a shower and basin, and a separate loo and huge storeroom can be found across the way. Totally off-the-grid, this property offers eco-friendly options powered by 12 solar panels, a 24v Victron inverter, 2 gas geysers and supported by 9 x 5000l water tanks. The property offers peace of mind with an automated access gate, electric fencing, an alarm and beams. An extra-high double carport provides covered parking and there is loads of space for additional parking. The gently sloping land includes a large chicken coop, thriving vegetable garden and your own little orchard with peach, fig, avocado, nectarine, apple, apricot and banana trees. Overlooking a private dam, this hidden gem offers serenity and eco-friendly living. This unique property blends rustic elegance with thoughtful design, creating an enchanting haven where nature and comfort meet in perfect harmony. Registered with the PPRA.
